Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
New technologies are needed to improve the prediction of high-impact weather events and advance processes in Earth system models for the future in atmospheric science research. This is a challenge that both the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) research and operational communities recognize as an urgent and acute public need.
Development of the next generation of airborne Doppler radars is required in order to:
A) Close the capability gap in airborne remote sensing of precipitating systems created by the retirement of the Electra Doppler Radar (ELDORA) and the anticipated retirement of the Tail Doppler Radar (TDR) in the next decade.
B) Provide remote sensing observations at wavelengths capable of penetrating deeper into heavy precipitation and with dual-polarimetric capabilities necessary for microphysical retrievals and agile scanning.
